Every now and then, the results of a trial can set off a man-made disaster like the 1992 LA Riots.

I really hope that’s not the case with the George Zimmerman trial in Florida.

That being said, a wise person should be prepared for civil disorder should the worst occur.  After all, riots can and do take place for a myriad of reasons.  Even the foreign press realizes that the case against George Zimmerman is weak and that he could be acquitted.  Given all the press attention and the focus on the race/ethnicity of those involved (Hispanic and Black), this case could result in civil disturbances ranging from peaceful protests to widespread violence.

Kevin over at Misfires and Light Strikes has an informative post that covers the basics along with some links some additional links (here and here) that delve deeper in the situation.  Since the case could go to the jury any day now, make sure you are ready should the worst happen.  Be aware, be ready, be safe.

If you have a moment, hop on over to Daniel Greenfield’s blog (Sultan Krish) and read one of his posts on the case.  Its a fascinating read about the culture clash going on within the lower half of the Middle Class.
